Detection of ecto-5'-nucleotidase on rat B and T lymphocyte subpopulations using a monoclonal antibody in rosetting reactions. 1987

G S Carvalho, and J P Luzio, and K Siddle, and R R Coombs

A mouse monoclonal antibody to rat 5'-nucleotidase (5N 4-2 McAb) was used in the direct anti-determinant rosetting reaction (DARR) to demonstrate the ecto-5'-nucleotidase molecule in preparations of rat lymphocytes. Results indicated that 35.5 +/- 7.5% of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL), 37.3 +/- 4.8% of lymph node cells (LN) and 37.0 +/- 8.5% of spleen lymphocytes expressed the 5N 4-2 antigen. Depletion studies and mixed rosetting reactions (MRR) showed that the 5N 4-2 antigen was mainly expressed on rat T lymphocytes rather than on B lymphocytes: In fact 59.6 +/- 3.2% (in PBL), 76.5 +/- 0.6% (in LN) and 67.1 +/- 1.3% (in spleen) of T lymphocytes exhibited the 5N 4-2 antigen compared to only 26.5 +/- 2.6% (in PBL), 34.0 +/- 2.1% (in LN) and 46.1 +/- 12.0% (in spleen) of B lymphocytes. As expected a strong association was found between the expression of 5N 4-2 antigen and 5'-nucleotidase enzyme activity on lymphocytes. Both 5N 4-2 positive cells and enzyme activity were preferentially exhibited in the T lymphocyte subpopulation, and 92% of the enzyme activity was observed in a 5N 4-2 antigen positive subpopulation.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012397	Rosette Formation	The in vitro formation of clusters consisting of a cell (usually a lymphocyte) surrounded by antigenic cells or antigen-bearing particles (usually erythrocytes, which may or may not be coated with antibody or antibody and complement). The rosette-forming cell may be an antibody-forming cell, a memory cell, a T-cell, a cell bearing surface cytophilic antibodies, or a monocyte possessing Fc receptors. Rosette formation can be used to identify specific populations of these cells.	Immunocytoadherence,Formation, Rosette,Formations, Rosette,Immunocytoadherences,Rosette Formations
D013154	Spleen	An encapsulated lymphatic organ through which venous blood filters.
D013601	T-Lymphocytes	Lymphocytes responsible for cell-mediated immunity. Two types have been identified - cytotoxic (T-LYMPHOCYTES, CYTOTOXIC) and helper T-lymphocytes (T-LYMPHOCYTES, HELPER-INDUCER). They are formed when lymphocytes circulate through the THYMUS GLAND and differentiate to thymocytes. When exposed to an antigen, they divide rapidly and produce large numbers of new T cells sensitized to that antigen.
